When making a POJO in Firebase, can you use ServerValue.TIMESTAMP?

Question

When you\'re making a Plain Old Java Object that\'s meant to be serialized from and deserialized to Firebase, is there a way to use the ServerValue.TIMESTAMP va

Answer 1

Same solution, but I use this.

@IgnoreExtraProperties
public class FIRPost {
    Object timestamp;

    public FIRPost() {
        // Default constructor required for calls to DataSnapshot.getValue(FIRPost.class)
        this.timestamp = ServerValue.TIMESTAMP;
    }

    public Object getTimestamp() {
        return timestamp;
    }

    @Exclude
    public Long getTimestamp(boolean isLong) {
        if (timestamp instanceof Long) return (Long) timestamp;
        else return null;
    }
}
